Alexander SeIkirk, standing on his
! lone barren isle, exclaiming-I am mon
arch of all | survey-was ruler Of n very
| small realm compared with that which
Wolfson overlOoks as he stands In the
| front arcade connecting his vast estab-
| iishments. From this vantage ground he
| looks down the lengthening vista OF his
almost interminable counters until their
| distinctness Is lost in the dimness OF dis
lance. Looking thus it must be with no
common feelings Of pride that he too ex-
olaims-I am monarch OF all survey.

tail of the house and its appointments
than any adequate idea is obtained OF its
immensely.
